wero restored to virtue, health and happiness by
the power of woman's love. Wo have known
young men who were making rapid advances in
the whirl of dissipation, saved by the magical
power of worn .irs love. Wbo has not heard of the
reformation of William Wirt, a noble Virginian,
Attorney General under John Quincy Adams and
James Monroe? Wirt was a child of genius, a
polished gentleman, an eloquent l.iwyer. Like too
many of the gifted ones ho became a tippler, a
drunkard, a sot. He loved a beautiful woman,
aud proposed marriace. Sho was wise and good,
one ol the real sort, and plainly told Wirt he must
cither renounce her or renounce the bottle. A
battle then began lu Wirt's breast. A depraved
appetite began the fight wilh a heaven born principle. Hope now drooped and now revived in the
bosoms of both. The woman loved Wirt as only a
pure minded woman can love Wirt struggled and
fell, again tried and again fell. One day he lay at

JAPANESE Papkr.—We may take some instruction, from the Japanese, who do uot use rags lor
paper, but the inner bark of trees. From a recent
account in Blackwood's Magazine, it appears that
this peculiar people are far iu advance of the rest
of the world in some specialities of paper making.
The Wilier ol tbo article to which we refer, in
describin_ the peculiarities of the Japanese, says :
" It is wonderful to see the thousand useful as
well as ornamental purposes for which paper is
applied in the hands of these industrious aud
tasteful people. Our papier mache manufacturers
should go to Yedo to learn what can be done with
paper. Vie saw it made into materia! closely resembling Russian and Morocco leather; it was
very difficult to detect the difference. With the
aid of lacker, varnish aud skilful paintings, paper
makes excellent trunks, saddles, telescope-cases'
tho frames of microscopes ; aud we even saw and
used excellent water-proof coats made of paper,
which did keep out the rain, and were as supple
as the best Mackintosh, (ludia rubber.) The
Japanese uso neither silk nor cotton handkerchiefs,
towels or dusters ; p .per in their hands serves as
an excellent substitute. It is soft, thin, and of a
pale yellow color, plentiful and cheap. Tho inner
walls of maiiy a Japanese apartment are formed
or paper, bein^ nothing more than painted screens.
Their windows aro covered with a fine translucent
description of the same material. We saw what
seemed lobe balls 'if twine, which were nothing
but long shreds of tough paper rolled up. If 0
shopkeeper bad a parcel to tie up he would ttdte
ii strip of paper, roll it up quickly between
hands and use it for twiuo. Iu short without
paper, all Japan would come to a dead lock

I_i.r_..i.i_g of llic Brain.
[ Softening of the brain is not unfrequently the
result of overtasking that wonderful and delicate
organ. Southey, the poet, died of ths' disease, and
is sometimes produced by sensual excess as well
as by mental labor. Butacording to a distinguished modern anatomist, hardening of the brain is
more common than its opposite. Nothing cau be
more easy than to indurate the organ of thought.
It can be done cither by softening lhe contents ol a
dead man's cranium in alcohol, or by the introduction of liquor into the skull of the living subject.
in the tbrm of drams. In short, drunkenness some-
times hardens the brain during' life as effectually
as a bath of fourth proof spirits could solidify it
after death. Ilyrth, tbe celebrated physiologist,
declared that he could distinguish in tho dark by
thc resistance it offered to his knife, the brain of a
drunkard from tbat of a person wbo had lived soberly ; and when he found a hardened brain in the
glsBeotlng room, was accuBtomed to congratulate
the students in his class on obtaining a specimen so
thoroughly prepared for preservation and for the
purposes ofdemonstration. How horrible thus to
petrify, as it were, the seat ol' thought, tho organ
otthesoul, while its arteries still throb with the
inilses ot life, and its gossamer tissues are permeated andacled ou by the immortal principle of our
beinir. Does the inebriate ever reflect that be may
be literally walling bis mind out of its God ap-
tedhome? Does he realize, as his ideas become more and more obtuse, that the instruments
li inl il must lose all flexibility and (.-asticity, and
become utterly powerless ; that were it scooped
frsm his skull now, and given to the Burgeons.
would be the jest of the dissecting-room a
"drunkard's brain?" Well has it been said that
habitual intoxication dries up all the fountains ol
feeling, leaving behind ouly " a brain oflead aod
a heart of stone."
NIGHT VOICING--
BY C- *"• B1CUABD3.
The day is done!
The waves wild murmer on the distant shore,
Lingering the lone hills among :
The night-wind moaneth her dirge; Ah I nevermore
Hit requiem to me sball sing,
When my day is done!
Out on the sea,
Eve takes up her solemn harp, and o'er the strings
Mournfully the stars are playing
Their eternal harmony ; while angel wings
Lave the crested white waves spraying,
Far out ou thesca.
In distance dim,
A spirit seems to hover in tbe moonlight,
On yon blenching wreck silently
Watching the breakers tempestuous, all night
Beating their brows violently
Against that gray tomb.
Night blackens still ;
The air is filled with voicings; a weird spell
Is thrown grayly over them all ;
The fretting bosom an unseen hand doth quell,
Aye, aud weaves a somhing pall
Over life's sorrows.

Captain Kidd not a Pirate.—At a meeting of
the New York Historical Society Judge Campbell
delivered an address in vindication of Captain Kidd, 1
iu which he showed that Kidd had been an officer ■
u the British Navy prior to 1091, when he married
in this country, and took command of a merchant
iMp owned by Mr. Livingston. He was very
much respected, and the Council iu May cf that
year awarded him £150, and publicly commouded
him for certain services rendered to the colony.
About the year 1603 the coasts of New England
were infested with pirates, and the Earl of Belmont,
whom the king had sent out as governor, proposed to tho government to fit out a ship of thirty
jjuus and a hundred and fifty men, and commission
Capt. Kidd to command her in a cruise against t_e
buccaneers. This proposition was made upon the
suggestion of Mr. Livingston, who expressed g
confidence iu Kidd's courage and capacity,
offered to pay oue fifth of the exnense. The g
ernmentwas then unable to furnish the required
vessel, but the Earl of Belmont, Lords Halifax,
Somer, Romuey, Orford, and others, contributed
tbe necessary funds, and entered iuto the articles
of agreement with Livingston and Kidd. These
articles were duly filed in the State paper office.
and on the llth of December, 1G.5, the Court of
Admiraliy issued a commission, authorizing Cap'
tain Kidd to take all French cruisers, and the
king's enemies, etc. The Adventure, galley, was
fitted out, and in tbe following April, Captain
teer. In the meantime the whig noblemen concerned in fitting out tha Adventure, were impeached. Humors were spread that Captain Kidd had
turned pirate, and when he entered Boston in June,
ll!99, he was seized and sent to England, where he
was convicted for piracy, and executed in May,
1700. Tha impeached lords were afterwards
acquitted.
Paddy Ryan and th* Prince of Wales.
Most of our readers know Paddy Ryan (formerly
of Carrck-on-Suir, and more recently of Nenagh,)
the manufacturer and hawker of Irish tweeds-
Paddy made a visit to the camp at the Curragh of
Kildare, during bis Royal Highness' sojourn. By I [!, «
dint of stratagem be succeeded in getting into the J12 "
age "to his Royal Highness, and the bright idea
struck him that he might turn the occasion to a
little personal advantage, and accordingly he displayed to the view of the Prince some of his wares
(which he had chanced to bring with hirn,) at lhe
same lime treating his Royal Ilignes. _ iu his own
peculiar brogue, to a gratuitous dissertation on tbe
modus operandi adopted by him in the manufacture of the tweed, at his rural factory iuTipperary.
The Priuce ordered a coat ol Paddy's own manipulation. Paddy promptly iuserted his scissors,
and severed the making of the coat from the favorite piece. The Prince of Wales then ordered
liberal paymeut to be made, nnd here it was that
Paddy showed tbat he wa3 not only a loyal subject but a generous one. Was it Paddy Ryan i<
take payment for a coat for his future King t
The King insisted on remunerating him. Paddy
inexorable; but since his Royal Highness was
so determined on recompensing him, if he would
only give him his autograph, merely prefacing il
th a brief statement that he had bought a coat
of Irish tweed from Paddy Ryan of Tipperary (of
his owu manufacture,) it was all that he would
ask or accept. Thc Prince presented Paddy with
the desired testimonial. Paddy made obeisances
and salaams without number, offered prayers foi
the speedy and happy marriage of the Prince, and
retired. He exhibited the Prince's certificate to
all wilh whom he came iu contact, or, rather, to
such as would likely be influenced by royal example, particularly in taking a coat oT Paddy Ryan's
tweed. The result more than realized hie expectations, as we are informed that all the officer!
and men of every brigade, regiment arid depot at l
the camp invested iu Paddy's merchandise.

Tl.c Burial Place of the Kings off England.
The London Times in describing thecereinouie.
at the funeral of Prince Albert, speaks thus of the
Royal vault at Windsor :
At the bottom of the grave, down which tbe bier
was lowered, is a stone passage, about six feet
broad and some eight or nine feet high. On the
t, in a little niche, stands the very simple ma
chinery used for lowering the biers, and a little
beyond this, iu another uiche. a row of very tall
black, gaunt-looking, two-armed woodeu candela
bra, employed for lorcheB when the royal vault itself is opened. For some twelve or fifteen feet
beyond this the passage continues desc-nding, ai
turning a little to the left, till further ingress is
cut off by two plain, rusty, wide-barred iron gates.
This is the entrance to the royal vault. It is a ver)1
plain, wide, lofty Btone vault, with a groined roof
priogiog from stone columns. On cither side,
supported by these columns, are four tiers of marble shelves ; in the centre are three wide and mas
sivc slabs of marble, raised some two feet from
the ground. Tbe side shelves are destined lor the
members of the royal family—the centre marble
biers for the coffins of monarch, only. As the
light slowly penetrates this dismal chamber, two
purple coffins, looking almost, black in the gloom,
reflecting back the ray* of light as thc beams fall
npon their richly gilded ornaments, which shine
as though affixed but yesterday. Thcso are the
coffins of George III. aitd Queen Charlotte.. Abov«
their heads, but shining out warmly with a hrichl
crimson glow, aro the coffins of three of their children, who died young. At their feet, but some
distance apart, and quite alone, lies the gorgeous
coffin of George IV. On the centre slab, and nearest to the gates, tho coffins of William IV. and
Queen Adelaide rest side by side, th« Queen being
on the left. There are nocofiins on the right sid
of the vault, but on the loft aro those of the Duke
of York, the Duke of Gloucester, the Duke ot Kent
nd the Duke of Cambridge. Strangely enough
tli- coffin lie-area, the gate is that of the Princess
Charlotte of Wales. It is n crimson coffin, close
:w, and like the rest, as bright as that which
alas! has been so lately lain there. Along this
passage we havo described, the bier of the late
Priuce was wheeled till the foot of the coffin was

Where tire the waters wandering?
The miller's daughter asks;
Under the mill-wheel, over lhe mill-dam,
Plying their noi.y task...
They murmur and hrawl lor a moment,
Then onward and onward they go ;
Ever iidv-ineifitc, never returning—
Where do. the waters ilow 1
"Where tye the waters wandering I
Lying lust night, on my bed,
Llat'tiinp their restless dashing,
Methnugtit their wild voices said :
" So shall ll he oo lire's current—
A hope or a joy once o'er—
A wish or a dream QflQ. utUTcd—
Like us, shall 'refurn no morel''

As those §j_.(l (ffetfper. ftirnt.nltl,
To ihe happy hoars of the presepti—
The careless dreaming ol old !
With the voice of lhe wand'ring waters
Mingled at early morn
The pound of Ihe whining mill-wheel,
The geutl. full of the corn _
And Ihe twilight, misty and mournful,
Faded away Irom my sight,
Till the drooping boughs of the willows
Were t uted with rosy light;
And the waters onward wand'ring,
Laughing nnd spntkling went ;
Till my lips their smiles repeated,
And I learned the lesson, Content.
Shall I fear—whilst a loving Heaven
Such smiles and guidance bestows—
To float on lile's d_rk waters.
Or reck where ils current flows ?

The Loudon Shipping Gazette says the mischief
done to tho harbur of Charleston is not so gi
as is generlly supposed; but the act of sinking
a stone fleet indicates tho adoption of a policy
from which, if Mr. Lincoln and his colleagues are
wise, ihey will desist in time ; they must otherwise be prepared for an energetic protest on the
part of every maritime Btate in Europe, and persistence in such barbarous mode of warfare may
even be made excuse of active intervention on
part of those whose commerce may be directly
effected.
A correspondent of the London Daily Newa
reproduces some Government correspondence in
ISO-it, showing that an act precisely similar to that
which Charleston was not only contemplated bin
iu motion for closing up lhe harbor cf Boulogne

charges. An officer will be sent him, aud authority conferred to employ clerks, etc.

contract departments, is the only disagreeable (net
'hich throws a cloud over the tr;uni|.li;int pft-

) reflect that, while the Coverntn'tit is drvising

au over /..alou. partiz.uiism blind a writer lo tbo
fact that to conceal or gloss over such abuse is

tf_KSH-£LBO for tiik Fh.vy.—Quite an exciting
incident occurred at the m.lil'.ry n-view—tlie lirst
review held by Govern.r Stanford, the Commiun!-
er-iii-Chief ol the State military. The fussy United Slates, Marshal, mounted, look up the most
prominent position on the parade ground, a position from which, by military regulations, all civilians are excluded. Seeing this, the commander
Of one of the regiments ordered a sentry to warn
lhe intruder off; the sentry politely requested the
great Marshal to retire; he refused, pleading tho
privilege oT his office ; the sentry was dct.rmincd,
ihe Marshal swore, and put his hand to his breast,
as if to draw a pistol ; sentry threatened to bayonet Marsha1 ; lively time in prospect; the Governor saw the impending storm and ordered the Marshal to disperse; M.r.ltul was still belligerent;
sentry was more belligerent : M 'jer-Gcneral Cnbb
ordered sentry to disperse ; sentry pleaded orders
of sentry's captain and threatened lo bayouet
Maj-Gen ; mutters looked squally ; Brig-Gen.
Doane came to the rescue ; sentry would uot leave;
finally sentry's captain ordered sentry to desist,
and sentry did so ; qui. t restored. Military and
general verdict : The Uiiit.d Slates Marshal untie
a "muggins" of bin self; the Governor of the
Slate, by the action ofthe" muggins," was fran-
touly ridiculed, whereby the people were (naultad;
the Major-Genernl and lhe Brigadier-General
were both wrong; the sentry was right. Moral:
The Uuited States Marshal is not so great a man,
eiiher officially, personally or meutaBy, _-; I be
Governor of California, and it is about time that
the aforesaid Marshal should know bis tin- p'Ofii
tion. Yesterday he made himself ridiculous, and

JAPANESE Papkr.—We may take some instruction, from the Japanese, who do uot use rags lor
paper, but the inner bark of trees. From a recent
account in Blackwood's Magazine, it appears that
this peculiar people are far iu advance of the rest
of the world in some specialities of paper making.
The Wilier ol tbo article to which we refer, in
describin_ the peculiarities of the Japanese, says :
" It is wonderful to see the thousand useful as
well as ornamental purposes for which paper is
applied in the hands of these industrious aud
tasteful people. Our papier mache manufacturers
should go to Yedo to learn what can be done with
paper. Vie saw it made into materia! closely resembling Russian and Morocco leather; it was
very difficult to detect the difference. With the
aid of lacker, varnish aud skilful paintings, paper
makes excellent trunks, saddles, telescope-cases'
tho frames of microscopes ; aud we even saw and
used excellent water-proof coats made of paper,
which did keep out the rain, and were as supple
as the best Mackintosh, (ludia rubber.) The
Japanese uso neither silk nor cotton handkerchiefs,
towels or dusters ; p .per in their hands serves as
an excellent substitute. It is soft, thin, and of a
pale yellow color, plentiful and cheap. Tho inner
walls of maiiy a Japanese apartment are formed
or paper, bein^ nothing more than painted screens.
Their windows aro covered with a fine translucent
description of the same material. We saw what
seemed lobe balls 'if twine, which were nothing
but long shreds of tough paper rolled up. If 0
shopkeeper bad a parcel to tie up he would ttdte
ii strip of paper, roll it up quickly between
hands and use it for twiuo. Iu short without
paper, all Japan would come to a dead lock
Japane.o mother. In law invariably stipulate in the
■aarriag. Bettt.10.nt that tho hridq it to have a

I_i.r_..i.i_g of llic Brain.
[ Softening of the brain is not unfrequently the
result of overtasking that wonderful and delicate
organ. Southey, the poet, died of ths' disease, and
is sometimes produced by sensual excess as well
as by mental labor. Butacording to a distinguished modern anatomist, hardening of the brain is
more common than its opposite. Nothing cau be
more easy than to indurate the organ of thought.
It can be done cither by softening lhe contents ol a
dead man's cranium in alcohol, or by the introduction of liquor into the skull of the living subject.
in the tbrm of drams. In short, drunkenness some-
times hardens the brain during' life as effectually
as a bath of fourth proof spirits could solidify it
after death. Ilyrth, tbe celebrated physiologist,
declared that he could distinguish in tho dark by
thc resistance it offered to his knife, the brain of a
drunkard from tbat of a person wbo had lived soberly ; and when he found a hardened brain in the
glsBeotlng room, was accuBtomed to congratulate
the students in his class on obtaining a specimen so
thoroughly prepared for preservation and for the
purposes ofdemonstration. How horrible thus to
petrify, as it were, the seat ol' thought, tho organ
otthesoul, while its arteries still throb with the
inilses ot life, and its gossamer tissues are permeated andacled ou by the immortal principle of our
beinir. Does the inebriate ever reflect that be may
be literally walling bis mind out of its God ap-
tedhome? Does he realize, as his ideas become more and more obtuse, that the instruments
li inl il must lose all flexibility and (.-asticity, and
become utterly powerless ; that were it scooped
frsm his skull now, and given to the Burgeons.
would be the jest of the dissecting-room a
"drunkard's brain?" Well has it been said that
habitual intoxication dries up all the fountains ol
feeling, leaving behind ouly " a brain oflead aod
a heart of stone."
NIGHT VOICING--
BY C- *"• B1CUABD3.
The day is done!
The waves wild murmer on the distant shore,
Lingering the lone hills among :
The night-wind moaneth her dirge; Ah I nevermore
Hit requiem to me sball sing,
When my day is done!
Out on the sea,
Eve takes up her solemn harp, and o'er the strings
Mournfully the stars are playing
Their eternal harmony ; while angel wings
Lave the crested white waves spraying,
Far out ou thesca.
In distance dim,
A spirit seems to hover in tbe moonlight,
On yon blenching wreck silently
Watching the breakers tempestuous, all night
Beating their brows violently
Against that gray tomb.
Night blackens still ;
The air is filled with voicings; a weird spell
Is thrown grayly over them all ;
The fretting bosom an unseen hand doth quell,
Aye, aud weaves a somhing pall
Over life's sorrows.

Captain Kidd not a Pirate.—At a meeting of
the New York Historical Society Judge Campbell
delivered an address in vindication of Captain Kidd, 1
iu which he showed that Kidd had been an officer ■
u the British Navy prior to 1091, when he married
in this country, and took command of a merchant
iMp owned by Mr. Livingston. He was very
much respected, and the Council iu May cf that
year awarded him £150, and publicly commouded
him for certain services rendered to the colony.
About the year 1603 the coasts of New England
were infested with pirates, and the Earl of Belmont,
whom the king had sent out as governor, proposed to tho government to fit out a ship of thirty
jjuus and a hundred and fifty men, and commission
Capt. Kidd to command her in a cruise against t_e
buccaneers. This proposition was made upon the
suggestion of Mr. Livingston, who expressed g
confidence iu Kidd's courage and capacity,
offered to pay oue fifth of the exnense. The g
ernmentwas then unable to furnish the required
vessel, but the Earl of Belmont, Lords Halifax,
Somer, Romuey, Orford, and others, contributed
tbe necessary funds, and entered iuto the articles
of agreement with Livingston and Kidd. These
articles were duly filed in the State paper office.
and on the llth of December, 1G.5, the Court of
Admiraliy issued a commission, authorizing Cap'
tain Kidd to take all French cruisers, and the
king's enemies, etc. The Adventure, galley, was
fitted out, and in tbe following April, Captain
teer. In the meantime the whig noblemen concerned in fitting out tha Adventure, were impeached. Humors were spread that Captain Kidd had
turned pirate, and when he entered Boston in June,
ll!99, he was seized and sent to England, where he
was convicted for piracy, and executed in May,
1700. Tha impeached lords were afterwards
acquitted.
Paddy Ryan and th* Prince of Wales.
Most of our readers know Paddy Ryan (formerly
of Carrck-on-Suir, and more recently of Nenagh,)
the manufacturer and hawker of Irish tweeds-
Paddy made a visit to the camp at the Curragh of
Kildare, during bis Royal Highness' sojourn. By I [!, «
dint of stratagem be succeeded in getting into the J12 "
age "to his Royal Highness, and the bright idea
struck him that he might turn the occasion to a
little personal advantage, and accordingly he displayed to the view of the Prince some of his wares
(which he had chanced to bring with hirn,) at lhe
same lime treating his Royal Ilignes. _ iu his own
peculiar brogue, to a gratuitous dissertation on tbe
modus operandi adopted by him in the manufacture of the tweed, at his rural factory iuTipperary.
The Priuce ordered a coat ol Paddy's own manipulation. Paddy promptly iuserted his scissors,
and severed the making of the coat from the favorite piece. The Prince of Wales then ordered
liberal paymeut to be made, nnd here it was that
Paddy showed tbat he wa3 not only a loyal subject but a generous one. Was it Paddy Ryan i<
take payment for a coat for his future King t
The King insisted on remunerating him. Paddy
inexorable; but since his Royal Highness was
so determined on recompensing him, if he would
only give him his autograph, merely prefacing il
th a brief statement that he had bought a coat
of Irish tweed from Paddy Ryan of Tipperary (of
his owu manufacture,) it was all that he would
ask or accept. Thc Prince presented Paddy with
the desired testimonial. Paddy made obeisances
and salaams without number, offered prayers foi
the speedy and happy marriage of the Prince, and
retired. He exhibited the Prince's certificate to
all wilh whom he came iu contact, or, rather, to
such as would likely be influenced by royal example, particularly in taking a coat oT Paddy Ryan's
tweed. The result more than realized hie expectations, as we are informed that all the officer!
and men of every brigade, regiment arid depot at l
the camp invested iu Paddy's merchandise.

Tl.c Burial Place of the Kings off England.
The London Times in describing thecereinouie.
at the funeral of Prince Albert, speaks thus of the
Royal vault at Windsor :
At the bottom of the grave, down which tbe bier
was lowered, is a stone passage, about six feet
broad and some eight or nine feet high. On the
t, in a little niche, stands the very simple ma
chinery used for lowering the biers, and a little
beyond this, iu another uiche. a row of very tall
black, gaunt-looking, two-armed woodeu candela
bra, employed for lorcheB when the royal vault itself is opened. For some twelve or fifteen feet
beyond this the passage continues desc-nding, ai
turning a little to the left, till further ingress is
cut off by two plain, rusty, wide-barred iron gates.
This is the entrance to the royal vault. It is a ver)1
plain, wide, lofty Btone vault, with a groined roof
priogiog from stone columns. On cither side,
supported by these columns, are four tiers of marble shelves ; in the centre are three wide and mas
sivc slabs of marble, raised some two feet from
the ground. Tbe side shelves are destined lor the
members of the royal family—the centre marble
biers for the coffins of monarch, only. As the
light slowly penetrates this dismal chamber, two
purple coffins, looking almost, black in the gloom,
reflecting back the ray* of light as thc beams fall
npon their richly gilded ornaments, which shine
as though affixed but yesterday. Thcso are the
coffins of George III. aitd Queen Charlotte.. Abov«
their heads, but shining out warmly with a hrichl
crimson glow, aro the coffins of three of their children, who died young. At their feet, but some
distance apart, and quite alone, lies the gorgeous
coffin of George IV. On the centre slab, and nearest to the gates, tho coffins of William IV. and
Queen Adelaide rest side by side, th« Queen being
on the left. There are nocofiins on the right sid
of the vault, but on the loft aro those of the Duke
of York, the Duke of Gloucester, the Duke ot Kent
nd the Duke of Cambridge. Strangely enough
tli- coffin lie-area, the gate is that of the Princess
Charlotte of Wales. It is n crimson coffin, close
:w, and like the rest, as bright as that which
alas! has been so lately lain there. Along this
passage we havo described, the bier of the late
Priuce was wheeled till the foot of the coffin was

tf_KSH-£LBO for tiik Fh.vy.—Quite an exciting
incident occurred at the m.lil'.ry n-view—tlie lirst
review held by Govern.r Stanford, the Commiun!-
er-iii-Chief ol the State military. The fussy United Slates, Marshal, mounted, look up the most
prominent position on the parade ground, a position from which, by military regulations, all civilians are excluded. Seeing this, the commander
Of one of the regiments ordered a sentry to warn
lhe intruder off; the sentry politely requested the
great Marshal to retire; he refused, pleading tho
privilege oT his office ; the sentry was dct.rmincd,
ihe Marshal swore, and put his hand to his breast,
as if to draw a pistol ; sentry threatened to bayonet Marsha1 ; lively time in prospect; the Governor saw the impending storm and ordered the Marshal to disperse; M.r.ltul was still belligerent;
sentry was more belligerent : M 'jer-Gcneral Cnbb
ordered sentry to disperse ; sentry pleaded orders
of sentry's captain and threatened lo bayouet
Maj-Gen ; mutters looked squally ; Brig-Gen.
Doane came to the rescue ; sentry would uot leave;
finally sentry's captain ordered sentry to desist,
and sentry did so ; qui. t restored. Military and
general verdict : The Uiiit.d Slates Marshal untie
a "muggins" of bin self; the Governor of the
Slate, by the action ofthe" muggins," was fran-
touly ridiculed, whereby the people were (naultad;
the Major-Genernl and lhe Brigadier-General
were both wrong; the sentry was right. Moral:
The Uuited States Marshal is not so great a man,
eiiher officially, personally or meutaBy, _-; I be
Governor of California, and it is about time that
the aforesaid Marshal should know bis tin- p'Ofii

really insulted the Governor of this State.—Call,
